Release of the font ***First Time***, ___Second Time___ and "This time" also 
has not only helped people with penchant for writing, but it has also helped 
people make other people think about why technological matter like fonts and 
their ownership and licenses, their vernacularizarion is a matter of 
importance to all people Breathing Marathi, Living Marathi and also Consuming 
Marathi litterature...

Our many Thanks to Yogini Jogalekar and also to people having family name as 
Jogalekar and those lucky ones having first name as Yogini... that goes with 
even saying... May this light of wisdom take us through the times when people 
need to breath in their mother tongue and breath out in their mother tongue...
